Question:medium

Critical Mach number of the airfoil is

Show Hint

Definitions of Mach numbers: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} M_\infty &\rightarrow \text{Free-stream Mach number} M_{cr} &\rightarrow \text{Free-stream Mach number at first local sonic point} \end{aligned} } \] At \(M=M_{cr}\), the local Mach number on the airfoil first becomes \[ \boxed{1.} \]
